Bertie Bear!

Meet Bertie - my latest Artist
Bear.

He is made from Steiff Schulte 6mm
viscose in a kind of toffee colour. He has a muslin muffler around his neck,
with a tiny piece of dried gypsophila tucked inside and he has a red faux
leather satchel bag across his body. He has black glass eyes and is filled with
the usual firm fibre fill and steel shot for weight. He has then been aged with
oil pastels. Bertie is 5-way cotter jointed and measures 8 inches from top to
toe.

He has
a fabric ‘Handmade at Bilberry Lane’ label sewn into his back seam and the ‘BL’
antique style metal pin.

About Me

Thanks for visiting my blog. I'm Julia, 57 years old and reasonably new to making Artist Bears, which are mostly One of a Kind. I try for a vintage, quirky style, with a bit of cuteness thrown in. Occasionally you will also see other craft projects, because I simply can't resist them!!
